Meet Jennifur, a lovely female cat with a name as unique as her personality. Affectionately known as Phoenix, she's ready to rise from the ashes and find her forever home. She is currently staying in a foster home where she enjoys sleeping during the day, asking for pets at night, and relaxing on the couch with her foster family during the evening.
She is not big into toys or being picked up, but if you respect her boundaries and let her approach you she's not shy about leaning in for cheek rubs, and when she's feeling content, her purr fills the room with a soft melody. She enjoys checking in at her foster mom's work from home desk, coming to say hi before continuing her busy day of napping. Beneath her friendly exterior, Jennifur still carries a bit of nervousness, especially in noisy environments, so she will need an adopter who is able to give her a bit of time to settle in and build trust.
If you're looking for a feline friend who's equal parts affectionate and unique, look no further than Jennifur, the cat who's ready to rise like a phoenix and spread her wings in a loving home.
Jennifur (Phoenix) is part of our Love Lasts Forever program where her adoption fees are waived! If you are interested in meeting Jennifur (Phoenix), submit an online foster adoption application or email catfosters@barcs.org to be put in contact with her foster family!

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time.

Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Step 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website. Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. Check www.barcs.org for our adoption process for animals in foster homes.
Step 2: Visit our shelter during adoption hours (Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). When you arrive, you will first be asked to fill out our Shelter Adoption Application with your information. You may also pre-fill our Shelter Adoption Application ahead of time online to save time when you are at the shelter. Your application will be processed after you meet the animal.
Step 3: Tour our adoption rooms and write down the names of animals that you would like to meet. A volunteer or staff member will help you meet your chosen animals to make a match!
Step 4: When you have selected the right animal for you, our Adoptions Team will run your Adoption Application for approval. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an adoption class where you will learn all of the details about your new adopted family member, including their known history and medical records.
What else to expect: Animals who are already spayed/neutered and past their stray hold (if applicable) can often go home with you the same day. Pick-up arrangements for unaltered animals and/or animals still on a stray hold will be made during your adoption class.
